I think Benedet is reading into it, for the purpose of disseminating misleading information in the way the Rescue Industry abolitionists are famous for. She and McKay seem to be the only ones quoted or interviewed in any recent article to suggest that criminalizing the purchase has any hope of passing an SCC scrutiny.

 

It's wishful thinking on her part I think.

Here is a litany of things that exploiters can be charged with, using the current set of laws. Just in case you have a debate with any abolitionists who claim that c-36 is the only solution to stopping those who would force unwilling and underage people into work.

 

If anyone tells you we need new laws, and that C-36 is going to fix 'everything', here are the current charges against this group. Now tell me, anyone, if this is an insufficient list to cover all the major issues that any abolitionist has with the sex trade:
